Something to lighten the mood

Her lawyer is evidently staggeringly incompetent...

I knew this Gwyneth Paltrow trial would be a Doozy! Day 4, and I hope popcorn is being handed out to the Jury of 8.

It has all the elements of a top quality Courtroom Drama. If it was a Hollywood film, it would garner many Oscars.

Consider the weeping daughter of the plaintiff, Mr. Sanderson:

Gwyneth draws on her acting skills and feigns disbelief at such ham acting:

Jaw-dropping moment from Gwyneth Paltrow.jpg


A telling moment in the Trial is when Gwyneth (unwisely, IMO...) takes the stand and clarifies that her counterclaim for $1 damages will include award of her enormous legal fees to her.

Some of the testimony is plain weird:

"Ms Paltrow, 50, has countersued. She testified that he collided with her and left her feeling "hurt and violated".

Lawyers for Mr Sanderson say Ms Paltrow was distracted by her children on the slope, and fled the crash.

According to his civil lawsuit, Mr Sanderson suffered a lasting brain injury and four fractured ribs.

Ms Paltrow testified in court on Friday, day four of the trial, that the crash left her with a sore knee and she got a massage afterwards.

"There was a body pressing against me and a very strange grunting noise," she said, describing how Mr Sanderson, a retired eye doctor, allegedly crashed into her from behind on a beginners' slope at Deer Valley in February 2016.

"Is this a practical joke. Is someone doing something perverted?" she told the court she recalled thinking in that moment.

"He was groaning and grunting in a very disturbing way," she added.

They fell on the ground together, and were almost "spooning", she said.

She later clarified that she was not accusing Mr Sanderson of sexual assault."

This (alleged) ski crash is putting pictures in my brain that I really don't want to see! 😀
